ModernCV Classic template FAQ
- Is ModernCV Classic ATS-friendly?
- ModernCV Classic keeps all content in a single top-to-bottom column, so the compiled PDF extracts in the order parsers expect and your roles stay attached to their dates. The icons and accent rules are decorative and do not carry required text. For the strictest pipelines a plain ats-safe layout is the most conservative option, but this design parses in order.
- Do I need to know LaTeX to use moderncv?
- No. The moderncv class normally means installing a TeX distribution and learning its commands; ResumeWizard replaces that with an online editor. You enter jobs, education, and skills as structured fields, a live preview renders the ModernCV Classic style as you type, and the final PDF downloads ready to send. Nothing is installed on your machine.
